How to interview candidates in the right way ?

Many factors are critical to a company's success. However, a big slice of the pie goes to abilities in recruitment - or in other words, knowing how to hire the best people for the jobs available.

Selecting, motivating, developing and retaining top employees is definitely a hard process. It is also a process which is tightly connected to the success of the company - and that is why it is extremely important. Hiring people with enthusiasm, engagement to work and simply greatness in what they do is difficult from a point of an interview.

This will teach you how to prepare for a job interview on your side - as well as which aspects to focus on and which questions to ask.

We have created 2 bullet lists to guide you through the process of successful job interviews:

The Key Points to Effectiveness:

staying focused and conscious during the interview

overcoming emotions and focus on maximum control

listening at least 80% of the time

Some of the proven recruitment formulas follow:

job skills + people skills = a successful work behavior

past behavior = future behavior

And now you may be asking - how to prepare and what to focus on throughout the interview?

Preparation

Apart from these short bullet lists, we also examined the way of preparing for a successful and effective interview. In order to be ready for anything and everything - and get the best results from a single interview, one should do as following:

Job Analysis - Find out the candidate's most critical competencies, experience and knowledge

Create your pitch - of the exact job description for the interview

Read and observe information from candidate's resume and reference letters

Decide the duration time - which should be less than an hour

Write job specific questions (technical)

Write emotional intelligence competency questions (ex. 'How would you react if...?';' Can you tell me a time when you experienced...?' etc.)
